Program Introduction

There are several areas of construction regulated by the International Building Code® (IBC®) where special inspections are mandatory. These inspections are to verify that work that is considered critical to life safety and property protection is being or has been constructed according to the approved plans and specifications. These special inspections are in addition to the typical municipal inspections required by the building department that are specified in Section 109 or specific structural observation as may be required by Section 1709.  Section 1704 details when special inspections are required and for what types of work. The registered design professional is required to prepare a Statement of Special Inspections that outlines the special inspections to be performed.  The Structural Engineers Association of New Mexico has put together a set of GUIDELINES for use by structural engineers performing design work in the state to help them implement a Special Structural Inspections Program on their projects.
